I have a dcl and lisp file that I have cobbled together and it works for the most part.
The only thing I can't figure is how to call on the help file from the "help" tile in the dcl.
The other thing I would like to do is constrain some of the input into the dialog box.
For example, in some tiles I want to restrict the maximum value that can be entered to 30, or if a value of greater
than 30 is entered the value will default to 30 (maybe with a warning message).
In other tiles I want to restrict the maximum value that can be entered to 20.
Any value entered by the user less than 20 should default to 0 (zero).
Again maybe with a warning message.

I just did and I think I am getting close.
I added the help funtion but when clicking the help button the application freezes/
Got it resolved.
I added the following directly in the dcl:
: button {
fixed_width=true;
width=13;
height=2.2;
key="help";
label= "Help";
action = "(help \"S:/IBC/Lisp/FrtHelp.htm\"\)";
}

I see what you're getting at about "portability" and referencing a network drive.
In this instance there are graphics in the help file which is too much for an alert box.
